how to create your very own capsule wardrobe
You have now decided that you want to create your own capsule wardrobe, fantastic! We are here to help you out on your mission, we will give you a few steps you need to follow in order to succeed. Having said this, here are 8 steps in order to create your own capsule wardrobe:
- Think about your style and needs, before you head out on this journey, you have to make it clear what your style is, what fits you best, and what you like more. Think that the clothes you’re about to choose will be your bread and wine for quite a long time, which can be great if you choose your clothes right, but it also might not be as cool if you don’t keep in mind your personal preferences.
- Experiment, the only way you will know what fits you best and what you like more is by experimenting, trying out different garments and combinations, try to think which ones you would be down to wear every single day, you will find truly precious garments this way, you will also be able to discard items that you would have otherwise bought, only to get tired of them in the future.
- Write down your ideas, the best way to achieve your goals and complete your journey is to create your own „mental map”, writing down your ideas materializes your thoughts and makes you a lot more predisposed to achieve the goals you set yourself. Writing down your ideas on a paper is great, but using a more visual tool like PDF Suite (Affiliate Link), for example, would be a lot more helpful.
- Clean out your closet, this is one of the hardest and most time-consuming steps, but it’s totally worth it. Get rid of all the clothes that you will no longer need for your capsule wardrobe, which are going to be almost all of your clothes. But keep in mind, you should never just throw out your clothes, that is going to produce such a carbon footprint that you’re better leaving them in your closet, instead, donate them to charity, or sell some of your clothes online on Alibaba (Affiliate Link), or any other online marketplace; this will also allow you to earn a quick buck that you can invest on your new sustainable lifestyle.
- Choose high-quality garments, one of the most important things to do is to choose sustainable, high-quality garments, not only because they will last a lot longer without degrading, but also because you want to reduce your carbon footprint while having a more positive impact on this world. Don’t be shy to spend more money on your new staple clothes, as we have said before, you are going to get your money’s worth, by using these clothes for a long time.
- Think about your accessories, another thing to keep in mind is your accessories, your handbags, your shoes… Make sure that they fit your new style and that they can be combined with the clothes you are going to wear from now on. You may even come to the conclusion that you have 4 handbags that you didn’t even know about, so you might also want to sell those if you don’t need them.
- Resist the urge to consume, this is a mental model that you need to master, you are not going to succeed if you fold at the first sale you see. A good rule of thumb is the 7-day rule, wait at least 7 days from the time you decide you want something, that way you have plenty of time to think if you really need the object you thought about buying, and you will be surprised to know how many times those were intrusive thoughts and you would have bought something you didn’t even need.
- Rinse and repeat (or just rinse), the last step is to continue with your journey, you will master the art of capsule wardrobes, we guarantee that. So now just sit back and enjoy your new minimalistic, environmentally-friendly capsule lifestyle 😉
These are the 8 steps in order to create your own capsule wardrobe, now it is time to take action. If you feel a little bit lost, don’t worry, we will also be giving you some tips that will help you in your journey to create your capsule wardrobe.
